RE: Buying factory ammo
Don't feel too bad mossy - I've got it much worse than you.
Same as you, maybe more, I don't even consider buying factory ammo anymore, at all, ever.
Worse than you, I've started to aquire brass for calibers I do not yet own....45/70, 35 Whelan, etc. When I go to the range, I look forward to looking in the trash can to see what brass I can take home with me...
Your actually very sane, in comparison....
